I love to experiment in the kitchen! I started cooking arounf 12 as my mom had 5 of us, so that made things easier. I seem to have a knack for desserts. It's also a good feeling to be in the throes of creation!

This is a stupendous recipe! (I'm eating it right now, it just came from the oven.) I love blueberrys, so this recipe hits the spot. I altered the crumbly mixture, though, for lack of some ingredients: instead of brown sugar, I used white sugar; instead of cinnamon and pecans, I substituted crumbled-up Fig Newton Bars, 1/4 cup, and 1/4 cup crumbled-up raisin bread, in case it got to sweet. It turned out excellent. Thank you.

These glazed cinnamon biscuits rock! Who needs the irritatation of hiking to the store for yeast, when you have a recipe like this? I doubt I will go to the store anytime soon for cinnamon rolls.

Healthy Banana Cookies

This recipe wasis absolutely delicious and nutritious! I also substituted the applesauce for the oil, and added some diced apples, a little sweetener and cinnamon. I highly recommend this recipe, not only due to it's nutritional value, but also because it is easy to personalize. Just think of all the many combinations that can be made with the basics of oatmeal, bananas, and applesauce! You could add a different kind of applsauce, as Walmart has many flavors. The combos from the fresh or dried fruit also let you be creative, while not compromising the nutritional value. I give this recipe 5 stars!!

Chocolate Banana Smoothie

This is the best smoothie of all time, but since I didn't have fat-free/sugar-free chocolate syrup, I used 1 tablespoon cocoa powder with a few packets of sweetener, and it still turned out yummy! If you want a fat-free version of the chocolate banana smoothie, I would use fat-free milk, too!

Everytime I make these cookies, they turn out better every time! I luv the combination of the flavors cinnamon and maple in a cookie. the texture of the cookie is soft and chewy, with the extra delight of a maple sugar coating! These cookies taste great with a cup of coffee, a scoop of ice cream, or even your favorite flavor of afternoon tea! I like they are low-fat, too.

Smashed Cauliflower

April R Phelps's rating

I thought this recipe was very interesting, as Smashed Cauliflower was a completely new way for me to prepare cauliflower. I wasn't sure if I would like it, but discovered since the cauliflower can soak up the flavors of the broth, butter, or whatever else you decide to add to it, it is the prefect vehicle for imitating mashed potatoes! I give this recipe 5 stars!

This recipe also makes for a great vegetable dip or even a spread, with the right amount of tinkering! Perfect for having your cauliflower and eating it, too!

Apple Pie

This apple pie is easy to make, and I had to substitute some fresh orange juice in the place of lemon juice to toss and coat the apples with, before adding the spice-sugar-flour mixture. I just put it in the oven, for I decided to make something sweet since I cannot sleep. Maybe I'm a baker at night, but the apartment smells just wonderful, and I cannot wait to taste-test the apple pie. This is the first one I ever made, so I am very excited to see the results! Thank You!
